Hi James,

Yes we are engaged now! We actually didn’t get the ring back from my sister until last weekend. When I came home on Monday, there was a sign on the door that said “Getting engaged is easy: Step 1- find the guy, Step 2- find the ring.” I went in and Armand was standing with a vase full of flowers for me, so step one wasn’t hard! I started to look around the apartment for the ring when I saw our cat, Chai, jump on the table to inspect the flowers. She had her collar on and it seemed to be sparkling! The ring was looped around her collar and when I took it off, Armand got down on his knee and officially proposed. It was such a romantic proposal and I was thrilled that Chai got to be a part of it. The ring is, of course, spectacular and I’ve been mesmerized by it (and my handsome fiance) ever since. I’ll attach a couple of pictures that we took on the day so you can see. Thanks for all of your help! Rose

 Thank you, Katie and Whiteflash, for your great customer service. You helped us choose such an amazing diamond. I love how it faces up so white and is super sparkly. WF did an awesome job on my custom wedding band too! My rings are definitely my dream set. Thank you! The wedding was everything we wanted it to be. Now we are just working and trying to get into shape for Hawaii for my sisters wedding in a few months. I attached some pics for you. One of my bridesmaids, Irene, also got her ring from WF! Anyways, I hope you are well!  Annie

Lady is our Chocolate Lab and Maybe is our Boston Terrier. Lady is a big help around the house as she helps carry in the groceries and will fetch the remote or phone which ever you ask her to do. Sometimes she brings them just because she is feeling starved for attention. Silly dog. They both have the run of the house and claim any bed or person to sleep on. Maybe is the tormenter of Lady always biting her tail and chasing her around. We love our girls very much as they bring lots of joy to our home. Enjoy the picture of Lady with Cameron and Maybe with Nathan.

Sheerah, My engagement ring is astoundingly beautiful -– the emerald cut diamond is gorgeous — we especially love the design! A very simple ‘east-west’ ring setting — a symbolic representation and a continuous reminder of the endless (as far as the east is from the west) love poured out by God for us, to us and for each other–we know it’s not a coincidence God brought Ernie from the east coast and I from the west coast together. The proposal wasn’t a complete surprise. We both expected to attend Bible study but Ernie came to pick me up with a ring in hand — he popped the question! We had an impromptu celebration at Jake’s in Del Mar.

Thank you so much for your assistance in guiding us to such an exquisite diamond. Your professionalism and expertise provided such personal touch service from my initial inquiry to Ernie having received the finished product! I will be in touch with you when it’s time to talk wedding bands. I already have the designs in mind! For me, I would like two micro eternity bands with baguette diamonds to sandwich the engagement ring and for Ernie, his band will be open and a baguette diamond will lie across east-west. We truly appreciated your hands on service and friendly follow up!
